My skin type is combination due mostly to my daily use of acne control products, if i didn't use anything i suspect it would be fairly oily. I have frequent breakouts on my chin,my jawline and my cheeks. i also have back acne which i have never been able to treat. My skin is rough to the touch, red and oily in some areas and patchy, dull, dry and flaky in others.
As you can imagine it makes me feel fairly self concious and brings me down sometimes. I've excepted it in my daily life, even though i admit that it has brought my self esteem and self image down, i try not to let it affect my life. As a performer however, who is onstage, baring her body and to some degree expected to look asthecially beatiful, it leaves much to be desired.
I know we all have body issues, sometimes we wish we didn't have those extra pounds, or strech marks, or small breasts. But for me this isn't something i can cover up with the properly designed costume, or a body suit, or padding. This is my face and to an extent my back, theres only so much cover up and concealer can do, and frankly i'm tired of having to spread my make up on with a trowl knowing that it still doesn't cut it, and even so still knowing these ugly skin deformations are there underneath it all is just plain exhausting emotionally.
so if anybody has any advise, or experience with more, shall we say agressive acne treatments i'm all ears.
Thanks for listening ladies, it's kind of an emotional issue for me and i really am at my wits end.
